Yeah, it’s quite short (four to five hours with the post-game content) but has been priced accordingly, and unlike quite a lot of AAA games, none of the time you spend on the game is bloat, just wall to wall fun. To anyone that have yet to play it, I urge you to give Untitled Goose Game a try. I think I’ll wait for the subscription free version at least. I guess it’s all going to be a slow build-up but it seems to me that Microsoft has got the right idea and just doing everything as a free test for now means no-ones going to get bent out of shape for paying real money.

On paper it all sounds great but I’m just not feeling the excitement, either for myself or from anyone else online. By the end of the month you’ll be able to buy even the newest games for a big discount and the Stadia stuff will be sitting there waiting for their first sale.

It’s also not a great idea to be launching at this time of year, just a week or so before Black Friday. Google are going to have to go to a lot of effort to get people out of the habit of just getting everything on consoles, and it’s going to need more than some year-old games. I realise that being able to play a high-end PC style version on any device is a big benefit, but I dunno. If I want to play a game via Stadia, I’ve got to buy it for £50 like normal? There being a subscription just improves the streaming? That is not what I was expecting at first. There’s no end of clichés in there, the trailer showed probably all the best bits and I’m not sure Jim Carrey is exactly on fire in his role, but all of a sudden I really want check it out. The Sonic movie does indeed look much better and even more incredibly now looks like a fairly normal, fairly bad family flick.

That doesn’t mean it’s not true, but there’s no evidence yet. GC: We saw it but felt there wasn’t enough substance to run it as a story.

Some might say Majora’s Mask was done in a very short period of time but things were simpler back then, in terms of technology, so I’m not sure that’s true now. Even if they can get a decent game finished in that time what chance is there that it’ll have any really new ideas? Breath Of The Wild 1 is my favourite game ever and I’d hate to see it get a cash-in sequel.
